“Shadows” exhibition

Marjolaine Turpin's work takes place in a space of fragility that she constructs, nourishes and attempts to stabilize. The conditions it puts in place give forms the opportunity to move, to compose an encapsulated territory where materials are mobilized and transform, act, sometimes at the limit of the visible. The works seem not to want to stay still, they move, slowly. Her obsession with making what she captures and puts back into production persist plays with the slow processes of material reactions, like living relationships, always destined to evolve. Observing the behavior of materials sometimes leads forms to find a function. To understand, you have to play again. Thus, for her exhibition at Angle contemporary art, Marjolaine therefore chooses to explore the reactions on the margins, the cracks, like echoes of what is elsewhere or is no longer.
